Good idea to use common sense and obey the laws of physics. Flying over the Alps in an aircraft manufactured in 1939 is inherently dangerous.

I would think twice before riding in a plane named “junker.”

But... yes, terrible thing to have happen.

JU-52. Not the plane involved.

“Tante Ju” was generally considered a rugged, reliable and safe aircraft to operate back in the day.

They were dead before the crash? Must have been a depressurization thing.
